1. Basic Info
Name: Oxfendazole
Alias: Methyl [5-(phenylsulfinyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]carbamate
CAS No.: 53716-50-0
Molecular Formula: C15H13N3O3S
Molecular Weight: 315.35
2. Physical & Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White to pale beige crystalline powder, odorless
- Solubility: Practically insoluble in water; slightly soluble in methanol, ethanol; soluble in DMSO, chloroform
- Melting Point: 252–254 ℃ (decompose upon melting)
- UV characteristic: Characteristic absorption peak at 298 nm in methanol
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under normal ambient humidity
- Crystal form: Fine needle crystal recrystallized from methanol
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Benzimidazole veterinary anthelmintic, containing carbamate group and phenyl sulfinyl group
- Weak acidity: N-H on benzimidazole ring, can react with strong alkali to form soluble salts
- Oxidation susceptibility: Sulfinyl group easy to oxidize into sulfone by oxidants, reduce drug efficacy
- Photostability: Sensitive to strong UV light, long-term illumination generates oxidation impurities
- Thermal stability: Stable below 180 ℃; carbonize and decompose above melting point
- Acid-base stability: Stable in neutral and weak acid environment; concentrated strong acid hydrolyzes carbamate side chain
- Compatibility: Compatible with common veterinary auxiliary materials; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated acid/alkali
3. Main Application Fields
